I'd prefer to be right than consistent.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is in the act of preparing, the moment you start caring.
Winston Churchill
Image
Things don't happen to me. I happen to things!
Winston Churchill
Image
Politics is like waking up in the morning. You never know whose head you'll find on the pillow.
Winston Churchill
Image
The dictator, in all his pride, is held in the grip of his party machine. He can go forward he cannot go back. He must blood his hounds and show them sport, or else, like Actaeon of old, be devoured by them. All-strong without, he is all-weak within.
Winston Churchill
Image
History is written by the victors.
Winston Churchill
Image
We Shall come through! We cannot tell when, we cannot tell how, but we shall come through.
Winston Churchill
Image
A heightened sense of the observation of nature is one of the chief delights that have come to me through trying to paint.
Winston Churchill
Image
These cruel, wanton, indiscriminate bombings of London are, of course, a part of Hitler's invasion plans. He hopes, by killing large numbers of civilians, and women and children, that he will terrorise and cow the people of this mighty imperial city ... Little does he know the spirit of the British nation, or the tough fibre of the Londoners.
Winston Churchill
Image
We are shaping the world faster than we can change ourselves, and we are applying to the present the habits of the past.
Winston Churchill
Image
The opposition occupies the benches in front of you, but the enemy sits behind you
Winston Churchill
Image
We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.
Winston Churchill
Image
The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-Boat peril...It did not take the form of flaring battles and glittering achievements, it manifested itself through statistics, diagrams, and curves unknown to the nation, incomprehensible to the public.
Winston Churchill
Image
The Navy can lose us the war, but only the Air Force can win it. Therefore our supreme effort must be to gain overwhelming mastery in the Air. The Fighters are our salvation . . . but the Bombers alone provide the means of victory. . . . In no other way at present visible can we hope to overcome the immense military power of Germany.
Winston Churchill
Image
The first duty of a university is to teach wisdom, not trade character, not technicalities.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is, therefore, wisdom in reserving one's decisions as long as possible and until all the facts and forces that will be potent at the moment are revealed.
Winston Churchill
Image
No one ever came to grief-except honorable grief-through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing horses, but never through riding them unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.
Winston Churchill
Image
Of all the small nations of this earth, perhaps only the ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind.
Winston Churchill
Image
It saves a lot of trouble if, instead of having to earn money and save it, you can just go and borrow it.
Winston Churchill
Image
Sir, we must beware of needless innovation, especially when guided by logic.
